Abstract
The kinetics and mechanism of the Claisen rearrangement of a series of para-substituted allyl phenyl ethers are determined in nematic and isotropic solvents. The influences of the solvent systems are compared. The rearrangement reactions are first-order in both solvents, and the Arrhenius plots show the same energy of activation in the nematic and isotropic phases of the solvents. The reactions are unimolecular in both solvent systems.Keywords
